Compression induced crystal-to-glass transition in soft colloidal solids

Using colloidal particles with different thermosensitivities, we observe the transition from a crystalline solid to a disordered glass by tuning the size mismatch of the constituent particles in quasi-two-dimensional configurations. The transition is clearly identifiable by the correlation functions...
